CP-6T
COMPACT, HIGH PERFORMANCE INDOOR/OUTDOOR
70/100 VOLT LOUDSPEAKER
The Klipsch Compact Performance CP-6T cabinet speaker, with
its weather-resistant design combined with its small stature,
is the perfect 70/100 Volt distributed audio solution for retail,
hospitality, restaurants and bars, whether operation is indoors
or out. The proprietary Tractrix® Horn assures a highly efficient
design that reproduces sound with unmatched low-distortion
clarity and detail at both foreground and background volume levels.
The conical-shaped, long-throw woofer is designed for minimal
cone breakup for more accurate low frequency response and is
reinforced with dual, front-firing ports in a bass-reflex design for
maximum bass output wherever the speaker is located. The 90° x
90° horn dispersion assures wide, even coverage pattern in either
a horizontal or vertical position. Traditional Klipsch efficiency
provides maximum output with minimum wattage.
FAST, EASY INSTALLATION WITH A REFINED LOOK
The CP-6T makes a highly aesthetic statement, designed to have
an appealing look from all angles with its integrated bracket and
its ability to be tightly mounted into a wall-to-wall or wall-toceiling corner due to its V-shaped rear profile. The front bracket
attachment combined with front baffle speaker terminals assures
a safe, easy, one-screwdriver installation. Tool-free 15° increment
angle adjustment makes positioning a breeze. Tap settings are
also conveniently front-baffle placed for quick access. If needed,
the CP-6T is provided with dual 1/4”, 20 thread, rear-positioned
inserts for utilization of a third party bracket and/or a safety cable
attachment. The CP-6T is offered in a paintable Black or White
cabinet with matching grille.

With high sensitivity combined with multiple tap settings, the CP-6T
is the perfect choice for numerous commercial applications of
varying sizes. Its 8 ohm bypass allows quick adaptability for venues
that specify separate 70/100 Volt and low impedance zones in the
same system. Available in a paintable Black or White cabinet.

TIPS ON DESIGNING/INSTALLING A 70/100 VOLT AUDIO DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM WITH KLIPSCH CP-6T SPEAKERS:
Using a quality SPL meter, first determine the ambient noise level of the business you are designing a system for. Then determine the area(s) the customer wants to cover and
if they desire a Background or Foreground music system for their particular business.
Ambient Noise Levels: Measure at peak business hours to determine highest level
Background Music Levels: Usually 3-6 decibels (dB’s) above the ambient noise level in an area
Foreground Music levels: 10+ dB’s above the ambient noise level (used in high-energy environments)
When determining speaker heights to mount over a given area, note the Inverse Square Law for sound and the fact that when placing a speaker in a corner 3 dB additional
output (+3dB) is obtained. In an area people are seated calculate coverage to 3.5 ft (1m) from floor, in an area people stand 5 ft. (1.5m) from floor
INVERSE SQUARE LAW
For every doubling of distance from a
speaker
Sound Pressure Level (SPL) is
reduced by 6dB (-6dB)
X
Y
SPEAKER IN WALL/CEILING OR WALL/WALL
EXAMPLE: Speaker in Corner (+3dB)
CP-4T Sensitivity: 94 dB@1 watt, 1 meter
TAP: 3.75 watts
X (1m) = 103 dB
12 FT
(3.7M)
Y (2m) = 97 dB
Z (4m) = 91 dB
EXAMPLE: Speaker on Wall
CP-4T Sensitivity: 94 dB@1 watt, 1 meter
TAP: 3.75 watts
X (1m) = 100 dB
Y (2m) = 94 dB
Z (4m) = 88 dB
Space speakers on wall all at the same height aimed down toward
listening area. Space according to coverage pattern (90°). Stagger
opposing speakers if within 30 ft. (9m) on opposite wall. Closer
spacing produces most even coverage. Avoid obstacles in front of
speakers For more reverberant rooms mount speakers lower at
8-12 ft. (2.4-3.7m) from floor.
Z
Choose a 70/100 Volt Line Distribution Amplifier based on total
wattage needed to power amount of speakers at selected tap settings
PLUS, we recommend, 50% additional power to cover additional
dynamic headroom/future expansion. Wire all speakers in parallel.
<=30 FT
(9M)
Example: Eight CP-6T speakers tapped at 7.5 watts each =
8 x 7.5 = 60 watts + additional 50% wattage = 90 watt amplifier
